In 2025-08, NVIDIA/doca-sosreport delivered two feature enhancements to enrich sosreport diagnostics: Doca plugin and DocaDpf plugin. The Doca plugin now collects Doca version and release information and outputs of doca-info and bf-info to provide a more complete system snapshot. The DocaDpf plugin now includes pod status in data collection to improve visibility into DPF cluster deployments. Accompanying fixes ensured reliable data capture (e.g., adding a doca version file and ensuring pod collection). These changes enhance triage speed, accuracy of cluster-state visibility, and overall customer support effectiveness.

Monthly summary for 2025-07 focused on NVIDIA/doca-platform. Delivered a security- and compatibility-focused upgrade by updating the OAuth2 dependency in ovs-cni from golang.org/x/oauth2 v0.20.0 to v0.30.0. Implemented via commit 72ce4f9f2e4d6f249ba877357a123dbb57960706 (fix: ovs-cni update oauth2). This upgrade reduces security risk, aligns with current OAuth2 flows, and enhances maintainability for future upgrades. No separate bug-fix commits were recorded this month; the primary value comes from the security/compatibility improvement.

May 2025 focused on strengthening NVIDIA debugging capabilities and ensuring build and deployment stability for NVIDIA/doca-sosreport. Implemented NVIDIA NVDebug Data Collection Enhancements, introducing a new sos-nvdebug.conf and an all_logs option to enable comprehensive log collection for nvdebug-related issues, and integrated these configurations into the packaging and installation pipelines (Dockerfile, Debian packaging, setup script, and RPM spec) to ensure correct deployment. Also improved release reliability by pinning the packaging library to a minimum version 21.2, reducing potential packaging conflicts. These changes collectively enhance data-driven triage, improve issue resolution speed, and contribute to a more robust, enterprise-grade deployment.
